Hugh Hewitt also out did himself with the following commentary:

THE LEGACY OF GEORGE W BUSH
By Hugh Hewitt

. . . Bush’s great legacy is the peaceful transition of power in an age of terror, a legacy made possible by his courage and his resolve to take the battle to our enemies, confront and defeat them wherever they could be found, contain them when they could not be attacked, and demand of the world a seriousness about the threat that remains real and deadly in its intentions. He has modeled how to act as president in this new media age of virulent venom at home and of fanatical violence and hatred abroad — with detachment toward the former and courage toward the latter.

Count me among the 30 percent, which will soon be 40 percent — and then more than 50 percent much sooner than most of the chattering class can conceive. Bush is deeply loved and respected in places as diverse as remote villages in Africa and booming tech centers in India and, despite the noise from a left still trying to diminish his character, among tens of millions of Americans grateful for the care he has taken to protect them and their families.

But his greatest admirers will be Americans, and perhaps Afghans, Iraqis, Israelis, Indians and Africans a century or more from now who read about his record and resolve in so many efforts will marvel at his restraint and credit his faith and his family for a remarkable service to freedom.

Read some great ‘welcome home’ comments from the folks at lucianne.com (a refreshing contrast from what often passes as commentary at FR — NOT the DOSE of course):

TEXAS DOSErs:
I hope MANY of you are planning to attend this welcome home party for our beloved President and First Lady!

I was going to fly in from Ohio but my hubby will be busy with a trial and my sister was just asked to attend a board meeting on the same day — she’s the lead counsel (and just as bummed as I am at the moment)! HOWEVER, I’m hoping we can all enjoy this event vicariously through our Texas DOSErs. We need you to provide us with a FULL REPORT (and photos)!! . . . yes, I’m talking about you LUV W!!

Here’s an AP article about the same event; I enjoyed the video link from CBS 11 Dallas:
